OK ...coming back to the original post and see if we can nail down ALL
the design requirements
You said
"My tiny 100 MHz low noise OCXOs are unexpectedly delayed at the mfr, and
I'm looking at alternative schemes.
One is to get 10 or 20 MHz OCXOs (typically in stock) and multiply them
up. I've got the Wenzel ap notes on 2diode and using HCMOS (and I've
used the packaged Wenzel multipliers), and I think I have some spare
board real estate on another board."
So I ask then, what is the real set of design requirements
1) Space of a few sq CM is the goal
2) 5X or 10X frequency multiplication
3) Input and output level (?????????)
4)Title said "Low Noise" needs better definition as to what kind of
noise and how far down. Are we to be concerned about harmonic and spur
content as compared to real random white noise?
5) Power requirements (0 to 5V at ?? ma ...or?)
6) Stability requirement in PPM?
